not covered services under the dental plan ….
376.1237. 1. Each health carrier or health benefit plan that offers or issues health
benefit plans which are delivered, issued for delivery, continued, or renewed in
this state on or after January 1, 2014, and that provides coverage for prescription
eye drops shall provide coverage for the refilling of an eye drop prescription prior
to the last day of the prescribed dosage period without regard to a coverage
restriction for early refill of prescription renewals as long as the prescribing health
care provider authorizes such early refill, and the health carrier or the health
benefit plan is notified …

operating in this state, every health insurance carrier insuring Missouri residents, and all
other interested parties are strongly encouraged to review this law in its entirety to
